Transitional forms and the fossil record

[aarceng (Chris)]

@Chris_Falter

human evolution seem to be particularly well documented in the fossil record.

1. When you say “transitional” do you mean that the “species” represented by that fossil is on the evolutionary path between ape and man? Or do you mean that it is an intermediate form that is not on the path?
2. What are the transitional forms in that series?
